Hi, I’m Samantha.
Founder of SAYL Bookkeeping—an accountant who believes clean books create calm, confident business owners.

With a Bachelor’s in Accounting and Legal Studies from Bryant University, I’ve spent over a decade in public accounting helping business owners—from startups to $7-figure brands—build better systems and stop dreading their finances.

Born and based in RI, I serve clients locally and coast to coast. And yes—if you’re nearby, I’m happy to meet in person.

Whether you’re drowning in receipts or just need a system that finally works, I’m here to make your books feel like a sea breeze.

Why SAYL?

Because your books should support your business and your life—not stress you out.

Whether you’re just getting started or haven’t opened your books in years, I’ll meet you where you are and build a process that makes sense. I specialize in QuickBooks Online and I’m all about giving you clean, accurate numbers you can actually use.
